Default Rocker- Exile open primary and chain switch

Got home from vacation today to a mess of new parts. Primo Brute IV belt drive modified by Exile, and the sprockets, spacers, chains to hook it up to the rear wheel.

From prior posts and looking around, I'm lead to believe these tools are required to get it done right (all from Georges garage.) All that I dont have can be purchased for about 230.00

You must have a Shop Manual (Got it.)

Locking device to immobilize the primary sprockets in order to loosen the compensator nut and clutch nut. (580040)

A special socket to remove the pulley nut.(620030)

Puller to remove the primary bearing inner race from the mainshaft. (620060)

Puller to remove and install main drive gear and bearing. (620070)

I have 2 weeks to figure it out as a busy work schedule will keep me out of the garage until then. Any MN guys have these tools they want to rent to me? Better yet, anyone done one of these in MN and can lend some expertise? I'd make it worth your time...

Default Other stuff

Here is the sprocket on the wheel (way better clearance now.)
Also got my fender from paint, and struts back from powder.
Changing from the bullets to the NESS LED set-up.

A friend, and a bad *** impact gun, comp nuts a joke. You'll love the meat grinder look, and the whipple charger sound, watch the pants, I've been through a few (shoes too). You can get most tools from harbor freight.

That's going to look awesome Hicksjay. I put the Exile belt drive on my 09 Train over the winter. I wish I had been able to go chain and sprotor too. The only special tool that I used was the locking device that I got off eBay for $20. The bearing race I cut with a dremel and hit with a chisel. There are a couple of belt drive threads on the forum that are good reads.
